So I finally got to Psalm 119 this morning. Would you read all 176 verses in one sitting? I didn’t.

Instead, I opted to read every 29th one. (Today is the 29th of the month, you know.)

Remove from me the way of lying:
and grant me thy law
graciously.

I intreated thy favour with my whole heart:
be merciful unto me
according to thy word.

They had almost consumed me upon earth;
but I forsook not thy precepts.

Uphold me
according unto thy word,
that I may live:
and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

I cried with my whole heart;
hear me, O Lord:
I will keep thy statutes.

I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord;
and thy law is my delight.

From there I went on to finish the rest of the chapter.

O give thanks unto the Lord;
for he is good:
because his mercy endureth for ever.

I called upon the Lord in distress:
the Lord answered me,
and set me in a large place.

The Lord taketh my part
with them that help me….

It is better to trust in the Lord
than….

The Lord is my strength and song,
and is become my salvation.

Save now,
I beseech thee, O Lord:
O Lord, I beseech thee,
send now prosperity.

God is the Lord,
which hath shewed us light….

Psalm 118
